Are you really reaching out to your largest reading audience as possible? Our country is filled with a diverse group of readers, so you may be limiting your reach if you only published your book in English. Most authors have never even thought about translating their book into a foreign language; however, it’s a smart decision if you want to effectively spread your book’s message. Communicating in another language breaks a barrier and allows you to connect with a previously untouched audience.

Six reasons why you should consider translating your book into Spanish:

2.) More than half of the growth in the total population of the U.S. between 2000 and 2010 was due to the increase in the Hispanic population.*

3.) The Hispanic population has surpassed 50 million and accounts for more than 50 percent of the U.S. population growth since 2000.*

4.) Become familiar with the unfamiliar: “Translation always helps us to know, to see from a different angle, to attribute new value to what once may have been unfamiliar. As nations and as individuals, we have a critical need for that kind of understanding and insight. The alternative is unthinkable.” – Edith Grossman, translator of Cervantes’ Don Quixote and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Living to Tell the Tale

5.) There are roughly 338,000 Christian congregations** in the U.S., with 16 percent*** of U.S. Christians a part of churches that had services in either only Spanish or both Spanish and English.

6.) The potential reach from a market made of 500 million Spanish speakers in the world should not be overlooked.
